Chocolate and blueberries on the nose. Lighter body than expected, smooth with a bit of vanilla, but a lingering strange combination of tart berries and spice, and a good bit of acid. Interesting. — 15 days ago

Explore Chile and Argentina wine class! The only one I want to remember. Bold nose, SP and PG get "happiness". Herbs, leather, some vanilla, almost a chocolatey taste. Stewed black plums. Lots of tannins, some minerality. — a month ago

Fruity, strawberry nose. Bigger body behind the bubbles, tart yet sweet. Now we're talking — 2 months ago

Big aroma, smoky and almost chocolate, but almost some cherry, also a big body and higher acid/more tannins, but still smooth. Also really, really nice. — 2 months ago

"medium-bodied and smooth. plum, raspberry, vanilla and spice" per the back of the label. Yeah, agree with those all! Definitely smooth with some hints of oakiness, so a nice sipper. Nothing special, but better than expected for the Delta Airlines red! 🤣 — 15 days ago

Pale pink color, floral and strawberry nose, subtle strawberry flavors, light and tart on the tongue, good acid but not overly drying, long tingling finish. Very easy drinker alone, lovely on a summer evening! — a month ago

Bigger body and less acid than I expected. Some tartness/citrus. Maybe Chalbis just aren't my thing. — 2 months ago

Subtle stone fruits (unripe peach), good minerality that lingers, medium body. Good for food pairings, subtle enough flavors to complement without cutting through them. Going awesome with tomato, scallops and steak! — 18 days ago

Lots of minerality on the nose, citrusy tart acid but a bit of body to keep it smooth. Nice alone but think it will be better with food. — a month ago

Warm vanilla and chocolate nose, also on the palate which is oaky and leaves a lingering spiciness. Some jammy fruits as well though. Never tasted a pinot like this before and definitely would have miscalled blind. On a cold winter night, this would be perfect! — a month ago
